Horses ShOd With Gold,

In the year 1865 storekeepcr named
Donald Cameron, carrying on business in
what was known as the Woolshed Victoria,
was elected first member of Parliament for
the Ovens district, and he had the honor of
being driven 10 triumph from the Woolshed
into Beechworth in gig in tandem team,
the leading horse of which was shod with
gold. Just before the election an eccentric
individual, known as Tinker Brown, who
had made lot of money on the diggings,
suddenly purchased circus, with tents,
horses and wagons complete, and coming in
to Beechworth with his company, he offered
to drive the newly elected member and sup
ply golden hOrseshoes for the occasion. Tie
Woolshed bosses, who were greatly elated
over the result ofthc election, warmly took
up Browns idea, and they resolved, in adj
dition, to present their member with dia-
mond scarf pin. The horseshoes were made
by a working jeweler named Tofield, and
weighed nine ounces ach The team was
driven from Woolshed to Beechworih and
back as far as La Serena Hill In removing
the shoes of the leader, a piebald circus horse,
they were found to have lost total of one
and three-quarter ounces. Before Tinker
Brown died he willed them to married
daughter keeping public house at Wagga
Wagga. They were in existence until about
four years ago, when the owner had them

DISEONTENT.

DISGONTENT.
There is no day so dark
Bat through the murk some ray of hope may
Some blessed touch from heaven that we might
feel,
If we but chose to mark
Who shut the portals fast,
And turn the key, nor let the sunshine in,
Yet to the worst despair that comes through sin
Gods light shall reach at last.
We slight our daily joy,
Make much of your vexations, thckly set
Our paths with thorns of discomfort, and fret
Atour fine COLDS alloy,
Till bounteous Heaven might frown
At such ingratitude, and. turning, lay
On our Impotence burdens that would weigh
Our aching shoulders down.
We shed too many tears,
AND sigh too sore, and yield us up to wee,
AS II God had not planned the way we go,
And counted out our years.
Can we not be content
And lit our foreheads from the ignoble dust
Or these complaining lives, and wait with trust,
Fulfilling Heavens intent?
Must we have wealth and power,
Fame, beauty, all things ordered to our mind ?
Nay, all these things lay happiness behind
Accept the sun and shower,
The humble joys that bless,
Appealing to Indifferent hearts, and cold,
With delicate touch, striving to reach and hold
Our hidden consciousness.
And see how everywhere
Love comforts. strengthens, helps, and saves us
What opportunities of good befall
To make life sweet and fair.

Sound Advice,

Don't stop to tell stories in business hours.
1fyou have place of business be found
there when wanted. No man can get rich
sitting around stores and saloons.
Never fool in business matters.
Have order, system, regularity and also
promptness,
Do not NEEDLE with business you know
nothing of.
Do not kick every stone in your path.
More miles can be made in q day by going
steadily than by stopping.
Pay as you CO.
A man of honor respects his word as he
does his bond.
Learn to say no. No necessity of snap
ping it out dog fashion, but say it firmly and
respectfully.
Use your brains rather than those of
Others
Learn to think and act for yourself
Keep ahead rather than behind the times.
Young men, cut this out, and If there be
any fallacy in the argument, let us know it.

A Small World.

The world is growing smaller every day I
Three gentlemen were standing together in
the East Room of the White House at the last
State reception. Richly dressed and beauii.
full women were thronging into that magnifi-
cent parlor from the Green Room, having
"been though" as the expression is for pre-.
sentation to the President in the Blue Room.
The social mill was in furious operation that
evening, and an enormous grist was being
ground out. Suddenly a medium sized, fas-
cinating lady from New York, in an elegant
and becoming costume, emerged from the
hopper. She was the wife OF a high railway
official in that city. The three gentlemen
glanced at her. No one. oi NE three knew
that either of the others lhad ever seen her
before. "Ah |" said Browne "the last time
| saw her was pouring sand into her shoes
at Long Branch" "Ind eed" said White.
",rhe last time met her was at the Hotel
Continental in Paris, when she presented me
to Clara Louise Kellogg" "And that re-
minds me" said Greene, shat the last time
l saw her was seated by her side in her
carriage, driving up Fifth-ave. for turn in
Central Park" And then the three gentle
men looked at each other, and shook hands,
and laughed. How small this world is.

Concerning Character.

There is nothing that pays" so well as q
good character. As an investment, it would
lead the whole list of paying stocks could it
be bought or sold. But honorableness, or
honesty, is not policy It's principle based
upon right and not on expediency. 1t is the
result of conviction and not of expedcncy, it
is mans inalicnable estate, his "house" in
the spiritual Israel which he dare not dispose
OF lest he forfeit his citizenship therein.
Reputation is related to character as the
banknote is to the hard coin which secures
its circulation. 1t may exist and pass current
for while without specie basis of charac-
ter, but without that, sooner or later it will
depreciate into worthless rags. A man
whose reputation is largely in excess of his
character, is in the same danger in which
bank whose circulation exceeds the proper
ratio of its specie reserve.
Nothing will take the place of character
Cuteness amiabilty learning, aesthetic culture,
wit, eloquence, wealth, none of these can
make up tor lack ofgood character. Without
it, a mans career will be like the voyage of
an unballasted vessel, top heavy with abund-
ant canvas. Whenever a sudden gale of
temptation sweeps over the sea of life, such
vessels go down in large numbers, suddenly
and without remedy.

AbOuta Lucky Star.

The "Brandcnburg Lucky Star''-so called
because it appeared the night in which Eec-
tor Johann Sigismund, of Brandenburg, was
born-is by German astronomers, expected
to make It's appearance again within the
next four years. In 045, during the reign OF
Emperor Ohio l., say the German papers, a
new and brilliant fixed star. was seen in the
constellation Cassiopein, which has the shape
otaW In 1864 a similar star was seen in
the same place; and again on Nov. II, 1872,
when TyCho Bruhe noticed brilliant star OF
unusual magnitude in spot where he had
only seen small ones until then. 1t had no
tail, nor was it surrounded by n haze, that
might lead observers to take it for comet /;
it resembled, on the contrary, the other fixed
Stars, and shed more brilliant light than the
stars of the first magnitude, eAcelling in this
respect Sirius, Jupiter and Vega. 1t could
only be compared to Venus, and was visible
also in the day time, even at noon. Alright,
with covered sky, while all the other stars
are invisible, it was repeatedly distinguish
able through tie clouds. Tycho was con-
visced of its complete immortality. Its
light began 10 fade in November, 1872, and
after having shonc for nearly seventeen
months it disappeared entirely in 1914. In
vain the astronomers have looked for il in
its wonted place since; but now, amer the
usual period of about 300 years, it is expected
to show itself again.

Patience a Great HeIp.

A lady who had been Frustrated by Sc
rious accident underwent critical surgical
operation. After it was over she inquired of
the surgeon how long she should have to re-
main in bed. "Only one day at time" he
cheerfully responded. The thought had
soothing influence upon her, and as she gave
utterance to it from day 10 day, feeling of
resignation was engendcred which did much
to neutralizc the effect of months OF weary
confinement to bed. Heroic effort often re-
stores the mind to n healthy balance, but
patience, in the true meaning of the word, is
the best aid to recovery in surgical cases.

Advantages Of Low Ceilings.

Rooms with low ceilings, or with ceilings
even with the window-top, says the Popular
Science Monthly are more readily and com.
pletely ventilated than those with high cell
ings. The leakage of air which is always
going on keeps all parts of the air in motion
in such rooms; whereas, If the ceiling is
higher, only the lower part of the air is NOV
ed and an inverted lake of foul and hot air is
left floating in the space above the window
tops. To have the currents of fresh air cir
culating only in the lower parts of the room,
while the upper portion ofthe air is left un-
affected is really the worst way of vcnlilat-
ing, for the stagnant atmospheric lake under
the ceiling-although NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. ac-
lively at work under the law of diffusion of
gases, fouling the fresh currents circulating
beneath it. With low ceilings and high win
dows no such accumulation of air is possible,
for the whole height Of the room is swept by
the currents, as the dust of the floor is swept
with broom. Low ceilings have also the
advantage of enabling the room to be warm
ed with less expenditure of heat and less cost
of fuel. The above does not agree with the
generally accepted idea of the height of
rooms in dwellings but the authority is good
and well worthy of consideration by persons
